The Hire (aka BMW Commercials) on DVD

I came across another cool deal on Ben's Bargain Center. For a limited time you can get the entire set of "The Hire" short films from BMW, the car manufacturer, on DVD. The disk is free if you are a BMW owner :-) and $3.75 + Tax for the rest of us.

When they first came out they were available for download online but having the whole set on DVD could be a definite bonus. At the very minimum, someday, I think the DVD could be a collector's item.

The films themselves have quite a pedigree in film talent...

The Hire: Ticker (2002) - D: Joe Carnahan; S: Clive Owen, Don Cheadle, F. Murray Abraham, Dennis Haysbert, Ray Liotta, Robert Patrick

Anyhoo. I just got one. I thought other short film afficianados might be interested. :-)
